Some time before the arrival of Tetra and her crew a war was fought in the land between the Demon King Malladus and a group of Deities known as the Spirits of Good. The Spirits were successful in subduing their enemy, but could not destroy him. The Demon King was sealed deep beneath the earth; giant shackles were forged and a huge Tower of Spirits acting as a lock was erected to maintain the seal on the Demon King. However, the power of the Spirits was depleted during the battle with the Demon King, and they ascended to the heavens, leaving New Hyrule, now bereft of spirits and demons, in the hands of the original settlers who were watched over by the Lokomo. As time passed, the land became a prosperous kingdom, and the chains used to bind the Demon King became tracks for a new technological marvel, the train. During the events of the game, the land is ruled by Princess Zelda, a member of the Royal Family of Hyrule.

Realms

New Hyrule is divided into different realms, each with its own climate and geographical features. Some places have been named after places in Hyrule, possibly after similar places that could be found in the original Hyrule.

Sand Realm

The Sand Realm is a huge desert lying just between the Fire Realm and the Ocean Realm. It is the smallest realm and location of the Sand Sanctuary and the Sand Temple. This section of New Hyrule is watched over by the Lokomo Rael.

As part of the Phantom Hourglass & Spirit Tracks DLC, New Hyrule appears on the western portion of the Grand Travels Map (which is a 8-Bit version of the world maps from both Phantom Hourglass & Spirit Tracks).
